Leo Messi scores the Hand of God Mark II

Most Argentinian footballers labelled the next Maradona have buckled under the pressure and ended up not meeting their potential. Not Lionel Messi. The Barcelona star seems to revel in copycatting his hero. After scoring a carbon copy of Diego’s incredible second goal against England at the 1986 World Cup earlier this season, Messi has now replicated the first goal of that game – the infamous Hand of God. He scored the controversial goal against Espanyol at the weekend.
